Kiva Lending Team: Women's Foundation of California

About usFor over 30 years, the Foundation has been not just a grantmaker, but a relentless advocate for social change. As a publicly supported foundation, we raise every dollar that we use for strategic grantmaking, public policy, and bringing together innovative women leaders. We have built up a dynamic network comprised of dedicated donor activists, leaders and grassroots organizations working throughout the state.

With decades of momentum and fourteen legislative wins to date, the Foundation is known as an early funder of human trafficking intervention and prevention, lesbian and transgender rights, environmental health, criminal justice work and campaigns to build women’s economic security.

With the help of our supporters, we strive to make California a model for the nation — a place where equity and economic security is realized by all women and families in the state.
